![]() ![]() The wearable will ship with a 22mm silicone strap, but if you want to swap it out for something else of that size you will be able to. NFC and GPS aren't "expected" to be built-in, allegedly. The device will charge through a USB Type-C port. Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.2 will be on board, but no cellular data support. The Timepiece also has 4GB of eMMC storage, 768 MB of RAM, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 2100 chipset. The smartwatch measures 45.5 x 45.4 x 12.9 mm, coming in between the aforementioned Watch Sport and Watch Style in this regard. It will boast a 1.2-inch 360x360 LCD screen and a 240 mAh battery. The Watch Timepiece has a stainless steel body, IP68 certified water and dust resistance, as well as a highly precise quartz movement and physical watch hands (for the mechanical clock aspect of course). This apparently caters to a demographic that is looking for the best of both worlds - analog and digital. Instead, the Timepiece will be a hybrid, containing a mechanical clock setup alongside the smart functions. That said, this won't be a straight-up smartwatch in the vein of the LG Watch Sport or Style, both models which launched last year. It will be called LG Watch Timepiece, and will run Google's newly renamed Wear OS. Google recently added a slew of Assistant features to Wear OS, and a new smartwatch could be an ideal showcase for those upgrades.According to a new rumor, LG is working on a new wrist worn wearable. LG's hardware showed up at the FCC mere days before Google I/O, which suggests that it might be announced at the developer event. There aren't any tangible launch details, but AH had the Watch Timepiece arriving "by June." And it's hard to ignore the convenient timing. The biggest improvement would be 768MB of RAM. The Timepiece wouldn't have GPS or NFC, and it'd use the same Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor and 4GB of storage that Google-powered watches have used since 2016. If you're hoping for a breakthrough in terms of performance, however, you'll be disappointed. The same rumor had the Timepiece using a stainless steel case, and there would even be a Watch Timepiece+ variant that would include a metal band in addition to the standard silicone strap. ![]() That might explain the unusual app view, as it wouldn't be surprising if the hands moved out of the way when necessary. The conventional watch hands would even perform other functions like you see with some hybrid smartwatches, such as compass or stopwatch. ![]() Even when the smartwatch portion ran out of battery, you'd still have basic time available for nearly 100 hours. There's no cellular access on this model, which suggests that it'd be a spiritual successor to the Watch Style - and there may be evidence to back up that claim.Ī late April rumor from AndroidHeadlines claimed that LG was readying the Watch Timepiece, a unique hybrid that would blend a Wear OS device (including a 1.2-inch 360 x 360 display) with a quartz watch. The usual vertical app list has been replaced by a Samsung Gear-style circular carousel (shown below) with the name of the selected app front and center. For one, this isn't using the usual Android Wear interface. Ever since Google rebranded Android Wear as Wear OS, there's been a lingering question: when would there be a new smartwatch to spearhead Google's wearable revival? Apparently, the answer is "soon." An FCC filing has revealed an LG-made Wear OS device that may just tout some unique features. ![]()
